My letter to Rishi Sunak on the gambling scandal engulfing the Tory Party.
How far does it go? What will he do to those involved? And what does it say about today’s Tory party that once again their first instinct was to fill their boots?
And the winners of the @EnglandHockey tier 1 mixed cup final against @SouthgateHC are @oxted! With 1-1 at full time, it went to shuffles (been here before!) and Oxted saw victory with a 3-1 win. Thank you Southgate for an entertaining final.
Please RT - Don't let the Conservative party rewrite or misrepresent what happened during covid
Left: James Cleverly explains how the Conservative government took the decision to come out of lockdown faster than other countries, suggesting that was good for our economy
Right: Simon Case in his evidence to the covid inquiry a few days ago explains how coming out of lockdown faster, and opening up society faster, meant we had a higher number of covid cases, which meant that test and trace didn't work like it did in other countries
Simon Case also explained that because the government refused to take scientific advice for a circuit breaker or second lockdown like other countries did to avoid a second wave, this meant that when the UK did eventually lockdown, we had to lock down for longer and harder than other countries, which of course cost society more financially as well as emotionally
So coming out of lockdown faster, an Eat Out To Help Out Scheme which spread the virus, gave higher case numbers, made our test and trace ineffective, and delays to locking down again meant that the economy was damaged even more than other countries, and people's mental health suffered significantly because of it
Almost everything the Conservative party did during the first two years of covid was a catastrophe, never let them forget that. And on July 4th, vote for whichever party will remove your Conservative MP: Labour, LibDem, Green, SNP - anyone
Respect yourself enough not to allow these charlatans back into office. Get a little dignity in your life.
